Sarah Michelle finally gets to play straight-up tragedy. Without any distracting special effects, more people may notice that her acting is phenomenal. (I was going to say "without any distracting genre-tude," but tragedy is a genre, just a classy, award-snaring one.) (Plus: not really a word.)

Yep, good trailer. And good to see the quote from Paulo Coelho. Not that I have any doubts about SMG's acting ability (after episodes like The Body who could?). I must make an effort to read the book before seeing it...

God, that looks terribly, terribly sad. After recently seeing "The Bridge" I'm not sure if I can handle another movie about suicide any time soon. It's gratifying to see Coelho's quoted praise of our Sarah Michelle, though. Good for her.

That looked... really good. I've shied away from SMG's recent works (since The Return), but that trailer makes me re-think my decision. I will definitely be looking forward to this (and may watch those movies I've skipped out on).

I think the fact that she allowed herself to look so much like Buffy in this movie can only mean that she's sending Joss subliminal messages that she is finally interested in doing a Buffy movie after all. Or at least that's what we can expect the rest of the entertainment blogosphere to start reporting after reading the comments in this thread.

I am trying to remain mature and rational about this when all I really want to do is flail and squeal with happiness. Sarah is going to be glorious (and gorgeous). David Thewlis is always awesome. And I grew very fond of Jonathan Tucker in the 14 episodes we got of The Black Donnellys, so I'm glad to see him as well. The whole thing looks beautiful and tragic, and I can't wait to see it.

That is one great trailer. I'm loving the different angles the director is using and that one scene where Sarah Michelle is wearing a black shirt and is wiping one tear off her cheek, her expression is just...wow. This looks really beautiful. I'm so hopeful that Sarah Michelle gets the recognition she deserves in films from this performance.

Wow. I'm actually pretty excited for this, after years of guarded pessimism toward SMG's projects (I really, really want to like them, but...most made me just miss her work on Buffy.) The trailer looks awesome (and yes, many surprisingly Buffy-esque shots; it's been how many years, and she can still look like that? and by "that" I mean drop-down gorgeous) and the comment from the author is extremely promising. All in all: yay!

I'm very excited for Sarah to have the opportunity to carry a film with such weight and depth, mainly because I've seen moments where she's more or less done that already. I liked her subtle, restrained performance in The Return, as well as her wounded, nuanced work in The Air I Breathe. Here, just based off the trailer, it looks like they're doing a fine job of lighting her features with a warm, soft quality. I'm on board for sure.

Wow!! I really want to see this film, I agree that Sarah Michelle has the potential to be a massive film star she has just chosen alot of wrong roles. I watched the return her acting was brilliant but the film as a whole just didn't live up to her performance, the grudge was another film that to me couldn't live up to the high standards of the original japanese film and Sarah's acting was overlooked for cheap scares, Southland tales her perfomance was great but she just didn't have enough screen time for you to really connect with her character. This on the other hand looks like the right kind of film for her to really hit the bigtime (hopefully), beacuse I really want her to beacuse she is and always will be an amazing actress. I think I may have to read the book.

Man this looks to be something special. I can not wait to see it. I am amazed at how the first thought when viewing this trailor was "Buffy is so sad". LOL, she looks just like Buffy again. That's not a bad thing. SMG is gorgeous.
